excuse me as i hurl...

so, tonight is the night i decided to clean my kitchen. ive slowly been working on the different areas of my apartment, cleaning and re-organizing, etc. and ive been saving my kitchen because of the fridge. okay, let me start here:
i love new york. i really do. however, there are a few things about the city that REALLY bother me. for example, there is not a single store here that keeps their refridgerated (sp?) items cold. i mean, theyre always *chilled* but never the correct cold temperature. now, this is annoying because a) things taste a little off, AND b) FOOD GOES BAD REALLY REALLY QUICKLY. its friggin frustrating. i finally found this one brand of milk that, for one reason or another, doesnt go bad quite as quickly. however. the last time i went to buy milk (uuuuh....beginning of december maybe?) NONE of the milk was remotely cold. it might have been SLIGHTLY cooler than room temp, but that was it. however, i was craving my raisin bran, so i needed milk. i bought the milk and used it that day, and it was fine. warm, but fine. the NEXT FREAKING DAY i went to pour it on my cereal, and it had already gone bad. so then i was bitter and i didnt want to buy anymore milk. i was also heading into studying for finals, and--dont ask me why--i didnt throw it out right away. that was a mistake.
okay, so, now everyone is caught up. bad milk in the fridge. oh, its now january 7, and the milk was still in the fridge. yeah, i left it in there while i was back in CA (ill explain why later). when i got back on thursday, i thought that my whole apartment would smell rancid. it didnt! the fridge didnt even smell!! well, this morning, it started to smell. (for the record, i dont think ive ever been THIS disgusting before. this isnt the norm for me!!!!!) so, i decided to not only throw out the nasty ass milk, but i figured i might as well go through my fridge and see if there were any other expired items in there (there were, but just a few, and werent gross or anything--ie, a thing of yogurt that expired a couple days ago, but wasnt nasty). anyways, i hadnt really decided how to deal with teh milk. i REALLY didnt want to pour it down the drain because the plumbing isnt all that great, but i didnt want to throw am almost full carton of rancid milk in teh trash to sit for a couple days...well, my problem was solved when i picked up the carton and realized....it was more of a solid substance. ew. ew ew ew ew. easier to throw out, but the idea is just nasty.

and thats all. =)
